As If We Never Said Goodbye
Rediscovering Life's Melody: Barbra Streisand's Lyrical Reunion
Lyrics
I don't know why I'm frightened
I am uncertain about the reason for my fear
I know my way around here
I am familiar with this place
The cardboard trees, the painted scenes, the sound here
Referring to the artificial elements of a set in a theater or film
Yes, a world to rediscover
There is a world waiting to be rediscovered
But I'm not in any hurry
I am not in a rush
And I need a moment
I require a moment to reflect
The whispered conversations in overcrowded hallways
Quiet conversations in crowded corridors
The atmosphere, as thrilling here as always
The atmosphere is as exciting as always
Feel the early morning madness
Experience the chaos of early morning
Feel the magic in the making
Feel the enchantment of the creative process
Why everything's as if we never said goodbye
Everything feels as if the parting never happened
I've spent so many mornings
Many mornings spent trying to resist something or someone
Just trying to resist you
Trembling now, unable to resist any longer
I'm trembling now
Expressing the emotional impact of the reunion
You can't know how I've missed you
Communicating the depth of the longing and absence
Missed the fairy tale adventures
Missed the exciting adventures of a fairy tale
In this ever-spinning playground
Life is a continuous and spinning playground
We were young together
Reflecting on shared youth
I'm coming out of make-up
Exiting the process of preparing for a performance
The lights already burning
Lights are already on, indicating imminent action
Not long until the camera's will start turning
Soon the cameras will begin recording
And the early morning madness
Reiterating the chaos and excitement of early morning
And the magic in the making
Emphasizing the magical aspect of creation
Yes, everything is as if we never said goodbye
Reaffirming that everything feels like there was no goodbye
I don't want to be alone, that's all in the past
Expressing a desire not to be alone
This world's waited long enough
Past loneliness is acknowledged, and a return home is declared
I've come home at last
Emphasizing the anticipation of coming home
And this time will be bigger
Expectations of a grander and brighter experience
And brighter than we knew it
Anticipating an enhanced and more vibrant reality
So watch me fly, we all know I can do it
Confidence in the ability to achieve greatness
Could I stop my hand from shaking?
Expressing nervousness or excitement
Has there ever been a moment with so much to live for?
Reflecting on the significance of the current moment
The whispered conversations in overcrowded hallways
Reiteration of quiet conversations in crowded places
So much to say, not just today, but always
There is so much to say, not just today but always
We'll have early morning madness
Anticipating the chaos of early morning
We'll have magic in the making
Emphasizing the ongoing magic of creation
Yes, everything's as if we never said goodbye
Reaffirming that everything feels like there was no goodbye
Oh, please don't ever, ever make me say goodbye
A plea to avoid the pain of saying goodbye
